Referral Process

Client referrals require assessment and referral packages to be filled out with the client and returned to Wilp Si’Satxw Community Healing Centre.

  • The assessment package may also be used for referring a client to another type of agency other than a treatment Centre as it is consistent with the information collected for other National Native Alcohol & Drug Abuse Program funded treatment centres.

The complete application, including pre-admission medical exam and T.B. test must be submitted before booking a treatment date.

  • If T.B. test is positive, then a chest x-ray is required.

Please note, clients will be booked as we receive their Complete referral package and medical examinations by mail or by fax.
